Book excerpt: "Learning Science, Spelling Words, Phonics, and More Simultaneously" is appropriate for grades kindergarten through 3rd. The purpose of this book has three main objectives and many other secondary objectives. The MAIN OBJECTIVES are (1) for students to learn the spelling words, which relate both phonetically and thematically, (2) to learn different spelling patterns of each week's emphasized sound, and (3) to learn about the science theme in focus. By planning lessons and choosing spelling words that correspond with a theme, students are provided ample opportunities to read and write the spelling words prior to the test while also learning about science. Please note that there is a corresponding social studies book sold separately titled "Learning Social Studies, Spelling Words, Phonics, and More Simultaneously" and that together the two books provide a list of spelling words for nearly every sound in the English language, including the short vowel sounds, long vowel sounds, vowel digraphs, diphthongs, r-controlled vowels, consonant sounds, syllabic "l", and the consonant digraphs. The chart with the table of contents lists each theme, the emphasized sound for the theme, and the spelling patterns that make the sound. For example, the long "e" sound is studied during a theme on "Growing Up Healthy" in the science book, and the spelling patterns taught are "ea" as in "peach," "ee" as in "sleep," "y" as in "dairy," and "ey" as in "honey." There are 37 lessons included in the social studies book and 22 lessons available in the science book. Worksheets and activities are provided with the lessons to help students learn about alphabetizing, contextual analysis, phonics, homophones, prefixes and suffixes, compound words, parts of speech, penmanship and writing skills. (These are the SECONDARY OBJECTIVES.) In addition, there is a spelling word search and a set of spelling word flashcards provided with each lesson. Throughout the book, you will also find ideas for integrating art, math, and geography into the themes. At the end of most lessons, there is a multiple-choice science test with bubbles to fill in that you can use to assess individual learning and to verify that predetermined objectives have been met. These tests are also available online as computer-based tests. (For pricing and details on how to access the online tests, please visit the "Reading Materials" page of our website at https://habakkuk20.wixsite.com/mysite.) To help prepare students for the tests, you will find a set of question cards available that can be used for unit games (links to a couple of free games are provided). The Teacher's key is sold separately under the title "Learning Science, Spelling Words, Phonics, and More Simultaneously (Teacher's Edition)."
